Just trying to weigh my options.. will be looking for an SQL setup, 60% SQ 40% SPL .. I was really thinking an 04-05 XXX on 2000rms in a sealed pod.. I don't want to really lose alot of trunk space but it is an option.. I'm going to be looking for a very nice install..

I found an SI MAG 15", fresh recone for $300 shipped which was tempting

Budget on a sub is roughly $300 shipped, as far as the amp, I'll probably buy one direct from kicker to match the sub.

Heres what the trunk looks like.. and my quick photoshop of an idea I had which is fading away. And yes it looks like an 8" in the image lmao, suppose to be a 12" there :P .. same thing done on the other side but for an amp. Just weighing options.. I've got money in paypal just waiting to be burned

my last oem 10:-)

and it was the mk11 which was the better sub (correct me if i'm wrong). and that mag would be perfect imo.

but will a mag be loud enough.. how much can a mag take before toasting..

if i got the XXX i'd run it on 2000rms.. not sure a mag could hold up to that but i might be wrong

Mag's rated for what 950w? (15") I'd feel safe all the way up to 1500w. She's a beast.

damnit im never going to pick out what i want to run lmao..

im going to do SQ.. i'm looking into the following

04-05 XXX
Si Mag
Adire Brahma (MKI & MKII)
Id Max

now I was originally going to run 1 12" but im seriously thinking about making that a single 15" setup.. not sure quite yet how well a 15" would do for SQ.. i suppose sealed it would not be an issue depending on power

i could also run two 12"s on the same power if i can find some in my price range.. i can always get two RE SE 12"s and run em on around 1500rms.. but if i stick with a single 12" setup i can always double it up later on.. if i do the single 15" setup i doubt i'll run two of them in the future..

i'd like to at least keep half my trunk..

took me forever to pick my last setup when i started running the RE SXs.. and now im coming down from that to go SQ and i just can't figure out what to get.. im looking for loud and clean, but without sacrificing too much space.. kind of give and take i know but damnit lol.. im in between

well.. it don't have to fit in the corner.. that was just an idea until i decided well heh! why not just take half my trunk for a system

originally i needed my full trunk buy our daughter is getting older so i won't have to lug around a big stroller.. just a small one :-)

so ive got more trunk room to use now..

Lol. If you're that tight on your decision I would go with the mag. I can't remember reading anywhere someone saying they were disappointed with the mag. ANYWHERE!!!




Just my two pennies......

thats not a real pod.. just a photoshop .. i can fit a single 12" in a pod there.. but since i can use half my trunk ima make a basic box and just do a custom cover for it

ive seen XXX running daily on 2500rms

i might just run a single 15".. depends on the SQ i can get from one.. i suppose if i ran aeros i can change the tuning easy.. then just plug it when i do SQ comp

im really thinking a single 15" setup is going to be my next setup.. ran it before.. was great for me.. so why not again :-)

i just don't think a single 12" will have enough SPL for me.. only worry i have is that the 15" won't have enough SQ .. but then again the SX IMO sounded pretty good.. did get sloppy on the quicker notes but it was not in a SQ setup either..
